Cloud Object Storage
in progress
Anurag Goel
While Render supports storing data on disks, it would be great to have a really easy to use object storage feature with the capabilities of AWS S3. This would be accessible via S3-compatible APIs and will be used to store arbitrary blobs like images and videos.

That's right.

I used to swing by this issue once a month to make sure I didn't miss something. Now I swing by once a week. Any hope for a 2024 ship??

The thought of just how much AWS infrastructure we get to destroy (including all the SOC2 monitoring crap) just because we have S3 buckets for file storage.. my god. The excitement is real.

Every time I have to do a security review for SOC2 I come back to check the progress of this one. So excited to burn so much code and AWS-direct infrastructure.

Sumit Gupta I feel you bro, I feel you.

Really waiting for this. Currently there is really no way to scale horizontally if your service has any media, other than creating some kind of an s3 substitute on a separate server (that wont scale due to the same problem, oops :) )

Are you considering adding image transformations e.g. cloudinary or imgix to this? It's a very common use case on top of the storage.

This feature is the last missing piece for us to be able to migrate off of DigitalOcean App Platform completely onto Render. MinIO is great but costs per GB for this on Render end up _much_ higher than any S3 based storage solution out there.
Anurag Goel Meagan Gamache its been a year since the last update on this feature. Is it planned for some time in 2024?

The reason I really want this is because it's a pain configure s3 to use my custom domain plus https plus a cors config plus good distribution network plus protect some images via a permission system while allowing others to be public. It's doable, and it works great when set up in s3, but I'm sick of figuring it out for every site. I think it would be fine if render.com even just used s3 under the hood and abstracted a bunch of the above concerns so I can set up more quickly.

For those of you ending up here from search, if you'd like to keep all of your services on Render and are willing to sacrifice a bit vs S3 costs, you can use this as a temporary solution:
$7/mo for the starter size (you can't go smaller w/ a disk) and it seems you also can't change the zone (it goes to Oregon). $0.25 /GB per month and starts w/ a 10GB disk.

Marked as "Planned" since 2019 - The official recommendation is to use AWS, but Render is marketed as "All Your Services in One Place".
We need this feature please Anurag Goel ! At least an update on this issue would be promising. Looks dead currently.

Michael Auderer: I hear you — this feature has been planned for a long time. This year, it's still something we're looking into, and we'll share more as soon as we can.
